Balupu
starring
Ravi
Teja,
Shruti
Hassan
and
Anjali
in
leads,
has
received
an
overwhelming
response
at
the
USA
Box
Office
in
the
first
weekend.
While
Punjabi
film
Jatt
and
Juliet
2
topped
the
business
chart
in
the
country,
the
Telugu
film
has
landed
in
the
second
place,
beating
the
Emraan
Hashmi
and
Vidya
Balan
starrer
Ghanchakkar,
which
has
graced
the
third
position.
The
Gopichand
Malineni-directed
flick
has
become
the
biggest
opener
in
the
career
of
Ravi
Teja.
Balupu
fetched
a
good
start
in
the
USA
and
its
business
was
much
ahead
of
Ghanchakkar
on
its
opening
day.
The
movie
witnessed
huge
growth
on
Saturday
and
Sunday.
The
movie
has
collected
Rs
1.76
crores
($
2,96,447)
from
60
screens
at
the
USA
Box
Office
in
its
opening
weekend.
Whereas,
Jatt
and
Juliet
2
and
Ghanchakkar
have
minted
Rs
2.31
crores
($
3,88,759)
from
41
screens
and
Rs
85.36
lakhs
($
1,43,616)
from
89
screens
respectively.
However,
Ravi
Teja's
previous
releases
were
duds
at
the
USA
Box
Office.
In
their
opening
weekend,
his
last
outings
like
Daruvu,
Devudu
Chesina
Manushulu
and
Sarocharu
had
collected
Rs
25.74
lakhs
($
46,327)
from
27
screens,
Rs
9.29
lakhs
($
16,720)
from
19
screens
and
Rs
14.87
lakhs
($
27,052)
from
22
screens
respectively
in
the
country.
Now,
his
latest
release
Balupu
has
smashed
all
these
records
and
become
the
highest
grosser
of
his
career.
